This barely modified from 1911 Britannica, apart from typos fixed. The two paras inserted before the final list of books are new. -- Hotlorp

However subsequent to this comment the article has been ammended and updated several times.

Should this perhaps be at George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon?

I recently purchased a copy of the deluxe edition of Ronaldshay’s ‘Life of Lord Curzon’. It is 132 of 200 signed deluxe editions that were sold – and I wonder if anyone out there has anymore information on the specific history of #132, or any of the other 199 copies. I have attempted to find a contact for the publisher, Ernest Benn ltd. However it appears that they either have no internet presence, are defunct, or have changed their name for some reason. I would love to know anything about the history of my specific copy, and the entire deluxe run – if anyone knows anything it would be much appreciated. Kris Radford, Victoria BC

[edit] Levi Leiter's origin

While Levi and Abrahama could be Evangelical names, and the last names are not distinctly Jewish, it seems more plausible to me that he was of German Jewish origin, not German Lutheran.

[edit] "Arab facade"

What is the origin of this quote: "Arab facade ruled and administered under British guidance and controlled by a native Mohammedan and, as far as possible, by an Arab staff." about how the British would run the Middle-East in the wake of WW1?

[edit] Famine

The stated believe that Curzon did little to counter the impact of the great famine in India, based on a quote from Mosley, Curzon's grandson, contradicts with David Gilmour's believe that Curzon actually managed not only to feed the people, but also that he provided funds to ease the financial impact as well. Another interesting outcome was the susequent creation of an agricultural academy.
